We’re in a New York state of mind this fall.
Wu-Tang Clan and Nas are taking off on their hotly-anticipated Big Apple-themed ‘N.Y. State of Mind Tour’ starting Sept. 20.
And yes, they’re coming to the City That Never Sleeps — as well as the nearby Garden State.
Prior to the tour, Wu-Tang Clan will join Mariah Carey and Mary J. Blige for ‘Hot 97 Hip Hop Forever’ at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on Friday, Sept. 15.
Once the trek officially kicks off, the co-headliners are slated to bring da ruckus at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Sept. 27 and Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall on Sept. 29.
What’s most shocking about this ’90s revival tour though are just how cheap some of the tickets are.
At the time of publication, our team found some tickets that will get you in the door for $15 before fees on Vivid Seats.

Although the Staten Island collective has been together since 1992, there has been little turnover in the group’s history other than the untimely passing of Russell Tyrell Jones aka Ol’ Dirty Bastard in 2004.

RZA (Robert Fitzgerald Diggs)

You can get a closer look at the group’s history via their biographical Hulu series “Wu-Tang: An American Saga.” The show wrapped its third and final season earlier this year.
The Grammy-winning Nas is riding high after a busy past few years.
In 2020, Nas released the 13-track “The King’s Disease” with producer Hitboy and subsequently won his first Grammy in the process.
Featuring soulful samples, tight flows and top-notch verses from Charlie Wilson, Big Sean, Don Toliver, Lil Durk, Anderson .Paak and more, the record set the stage for “The King’s Disease II.”
The 2021 album was just as well received as the first entry in the “King’s Disease” canon and nabbed a nomination for Best Rap Album but lost to Tyler, The Creator’s “Call Me If You Get Lost.”
Finally, in November 2022, Nas’ “The King’s Disease III,” the first album in the trilogy to not include any guest appearances, dropped.
If you want to hear all three, you can check out the “King’s Disease” trilogy here.
